US/P-51B
Spitfires Mk.Vb of the covering group were replaced with the Spitfire L.F. Mk.IXc (CW); also adjusted the german interceptors take-off schedule.

Additional Information about the I-185

We're including these two aircraft as a token of gratitude to V. Loginov - the founder of the sukhoi.ru resource that was very supportive throughout the year of creation of the Il-2; and with esteem to his grandfather, who had the honour of test-flying these two.

I-185 M-82, 1941

Type: multi-role fighter.

Weight:
Take-0ff: 3,735 kg
Full loaded: 3,825 kg

Length: 8.1 m
Wingspan: 9.8 m
Wing area: 15.53 sq. m

Engine: 1 x M-82
Power:
Take-off: 1,600 HP
Indicated: 1,390 HP

Top speed:
Ground Level: 549 km/h
At 6,170 m: 615 km/h

Time to climb to 5,000 m: 6 min

Ceiling: 10,450 m
Range: 1,380 km

Armament:
3x20mm ShVAK cannons
500 kg of bombs

I-185 with the M-82 engine was intended to be the I-185 with increased armament. Instead of two large-caliber and two small-caliber machine guns the I-185 M-82 was equipped with three 20mm ShVAKs. In addition to that the plane also had a redesigned canopy, gear struts and fuselage. Altogether two prototypes were built; the first flew on July 21st 1941. Both I-185 M-82s participated in front-line trials between December of 1942 and January 1943.

The I-185 prototype equipped with the M-71 engine which first flew on June 10, 1942 was designated a "production standard", i.e. a prototype which was to be used as a standard for future production. Compared to other prototypes of the series many defects were resolved and the overall aerodynamics improved. The I-185 M-71 production standard was built from the blueprints intended for serial production.

The I-185 M-71 production standard, in addition to the I-185 M-71 #6204 and two I-185 M-82 went through front line combat testing between December of 1942 and January of 1943. Speed and climb rate of this prototype were vastly superior to all contemporary Soviet fighters. However due to political reason and lobbying from Polikarpov's enemies the project never entered production and was cancelled.

"As weaponry, both were good, but in far different ways from each other. In a nutshell, I describe it this way: if the FW 190 was a sabre, the 109 was a florett, or foil, like that used in the precision art of fencing." - Gunther Rall

Why was the P-36/Hawk-75 shown in the Dev. updates but only the flaps in the patch read-me?

I went online this afternoon for some online flying, and as I signed into hyperlobby I jokingly imagined that once I'd signed in, I'd find out the patch had been released. And guess what? I was rather amused. Pity I won't be getting it any time soon... I'm on 56k pay-per-minute and it's 102mb in size http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

from Readme :

13. Improved collision algorythm for large and stretched objects (such as battlecruisers).

Does this mean Kamikaze missions can work now ? Maybe they're testing before PF comes out.

Hmm: great news, but no mention of fixing the ME 163 'launch from ground bug' that I've seen...

Anyone know if it's been addressed?

No mention in the ReadMe of new single-player campaigns for more AEP aircraft. Are there any new campaigns ?

Also, does anyone notice any new AI behaviour ?

Thank God I have broadband http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/11.gif Have previously done IL2 patches over dial-up and it isn't funny.

Must say it is a nice surprise as I was not really expecting it (plus I have lots of other things on)http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

S! to Oleg, UBI and co - great stuff! Thanks

What plane will I be trying first? Ooooooh thats hard - NOT! Starts with "Spit" and ends with "fire". This will closely be followed by a quick burn in the 190 A6. And then.....

Damn, gotta ration my time as I have a masters Dissertation due http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/blink.gif
